Let talk Tackles

Andrew Thomas was taken at #4 with 3 elite years in the SEC. He struggled. If you go by PFF grades finished last amongst then. Jedrick Wills taken 10th had a similar fate and finished 3rd worse. Meckhi Becton taken a pick later finished 2nd among the group. Tristan Wirfs actually was a top tier RT. Many people thought he was destined for Guard. The point is there are few “can’t miss” picks amongst tackles. Especially amongst 20 year olds.

I’d love for the Bengals to trade down. They historically aren’t very good at that. They’re dumb. I would love to come out of this draft with Kyle Piits. Regrettably I don’t see that happening.

Burrow wants Carr. That’s probably were we should go.

Day 2 Leatherwood, Corsi, Jenkins, etc. make the most sense. There is nothing magical about seeing which pick is going to hit or not.

Trent Williams is the #1 FA OL. I’m all in on that.

I assume you mean chase, then later on you mean cosmi? Why would we sign Trent Williams instead of a younger tackle out there? We aren’t competing next year
